It also cut out my full paragraph about why I feel JJFP should be in the hall of fame: "This pioneering group opened the doors for a lot of hip hop artists to have success and longevity in the entertainment industry. 2019 will mark the 30th anniversary of them winning the 1st ever grammy award in hip hop back in 1989 for the song "Parents Just Don't Understand" off of the groundbreaking 1988 album "He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper". It was the excellent storytelling and wordplay on that record that convinced the legendary Quincy Jones to give JJFP the legendary sitcom "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air" in 1990 which opened the doors for other rappers like LL Cool J and Ice T to have opportunities acting on television shows today. People of all ages over the years would play at cookouts the classic 1991 record "Summertime" off of another groundbreaking hip hop album "Homebase" which was considered a strong comeback record after Fresh Prince faced financial issues at a young age, the album "Homebase" would cement JJFP to legendary status. Now they'd do countless more work since then, in particular Will doing blockbuster fims like "Men In Black" and "Hitch" in between his musical collaborations with Jeff on the hit albums "Big Willie Style", "Willennium", and "Lost and Found" and Jazzy Jeff doing production for everyone from Jill Scott and The Roots to hip hop favorites like Kel Spencer and Dayne Jordan. Now it'd be fitting for us hip hop heads to reward them with the ultimate honor in music entertainment, an induction to the 2019 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, let's do this people! Btw if you need a refresher on their music here's a playlist of their songs over their 30+ year career! http://www.jazzyjefffreshprince.com/forum/topic/16152-big-teds-jjfp-30-playlist-also-featuring-music-by-potnasl/"

LET'S SPREAD THE WORD Y'ALL, JJFP IN ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME 2019! https://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/828/783/934/

as much as i'd love to see code red remastered due to popularity it'd probably be the least likely to be remastered, unless will pays attention to this board, here's the order that I feel the next albums would be remastered: Homebase Rock The House And In This Corner Code Red...

i've been taking my time working on new songs lately amist everything going on in the world rite now, I'm hopeful to focus on the next half of year to try to get my "Open Book" album recorded, some of the realest lyrics i ever written in dedication to my pops memory and the world's events, here's "Make The Claim"... make the claim to show you care make the claim beyond the despair make the claim staying on top of the flow make the claim that there would be growth it's all a claim making it beyond unknown i don't need a reason to spread love beyond the seasons the true love is revealing no need to just break even when it's all on top feelings it doesn't matter if you're a ceo or a cashier at a grocery store no need to fiend like i'm bored i won't live in greed for awards i'm not joking when i say i'm destined for more and i won't ever give up on love for sure my purpose in this life is to go and continually write lyrics for the world to unite and this destiny goes to recite words are medicine healing on time so what i put to a beat or what u put on a tweet any other word u speak rolls to run truly deep expressing thoughts continually my first job out of high school was kmart the tools i applied there will take me to the charts everyday my work ethic is going hard i give everything with all my heart all my passions are of great charge god loves all of us with all heart god will love me as a billionaire as much as when i was at kmart occupation doesn't fill the passion in your heart it's much bigger than being book smart although i was in the top 20 percent in class of 03 at central there won't be a way of a freefall all the stakes are high overall reminiscing to the days of de la soul the gangsta's paradise of coolio this is much bigger than being well known a powerful feeling of being full grown like naughty you feel my flow like r kelly and ron isley on the down low remaining on the prowl for the show the claim is written the claim of reppin ain't picking up a weapon claim of respecting all color, creed, and religion whether you're standing or sitting the base of a vision making claim of an instant the claim of intentions the claim of my beat is a way of peace we're losing many of our peeps to poverty, violence, and disease many of this is unnecessary pray we could all go to 120 in our peaceful sleep many of my generation has sacrificed in iraq and afganistan since i graduated high school in 2003 they didn't live to see lebron and kobe win mvps or listen to kanye west or 50 cent beats and listen to soulful & classy keyshia cole, jennifer hudson, and alicia keys or having fun with music reality shows like the voice and american idol running complete there's no vision of any of us sounding off key when i enjoy these things in my lost ones memories and i also carry on the legacy of my papa who passed on in november 2016 we're on borrowed time like wyclef mentioned my brother also from haiti the immigrants came to this land of opportunity america is supposed to be the land for all of us to be free sure i respect the military's ways but don't disrespect the sacrifice of the civil rights claim

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMEBODY LIKE DRAKE OR RICK ROSS HAVE THE BALLS TO MAKE A SONG LIKE THIS...

regardless on how you might feel about taking a knee for the national anthem, you gotta give it up to krs one's "american flag" song on his november 2015 album "now hear this" album, he exercised his 1st amendment here perfectly with the essence of real hip hop, it's the modern day "fight the power" and "tell me why", that why krs one is a hip hop legend, PROPS!

these are the signs of the times, who woulda thought that in 3 days the video has more views than the original from the '90 selling album, HAMMER'S THE VOICE OF REASON IN 2017!

i'm thankful that one of my favorite rappers from when i was first listening to hip hop is still here with us and doing his thing, so many are gone now....

Can't put into words how much of an impact you & Jeff have had on my life over the years, the recent comeback show has inspired us all, hope there's many more on the way, and with all that's going on these days the world needs JJFP to keep on the beats and rhymes, happy birthday and many more, god bless....

WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD THIS IS FITTING, FRESH PRINCE NEEDS TO HOP ON A REMIX ASAP!

Pharrell "Happy"

the song might not be brand new funk but it's still way better than that young money/rick ross garbage we hear these days...

that's an awesome review AJ! hopefully this album has enough buzz to get the other JJFP albums remastered...

i'm gonna order myself a copy off of amazon by end of the month...

that's some awesome insight from carvin, good stuff dude...

was listening to this album on repeat for the last couple hours, this is instantly a top 5 hip hop album of the year, so refreshing to hear quality new music in 2017 i've been catching up with old school albums most of the year...

this is a good teaser for the album, was watching some of this yesterday, btw if it's as good as J'Ouvert it'll cement a strong comeback year for him since that album was one of my favorites earlier in the year:

gonna listen over the weekend: http://hiphopdx.com/news/id.44646/title.wyclef-jean-releases-carnival-iii-the-fall-rise-of-a-refugee-lp

well i was reading on amazon that if you're an amazon prime member you could stream this album for free, figure to give the heads up

i'm surprised that the expanded album was released on CD and not on spotify, youtube, and apple music digitally, that's a rarity these days...

a lot of people dissing this song and saying that JJFP should retire on youtube but i bet the majority of them are young money fans who don't know what real rap is...

thanks for sharing your experience with carvin with us, those are some incredible stories he shared with you!
